scripts/kernel-doc: fix parsing of function pointers
kernel-doc fails to parse function definitions like the one below
efi_status_t efi_create_event(uint32_t type, efi_uintn_t notify_tpl,
void (EFIAPI *notify_function) (
struct efi_event *event,
void *context),
void *notify_context, efi_guid_t *group,
struct efi_event **event)
{
due to the "EFIAPI" attribute preceding the function name.
